Hmm yes, I mean that's obvious lol. I might be missing the point, but that kind of logic can be applied to everything, because wanting something might not result in achieving that thing. Working hard for it is important and in most cases it brings results, but there's luck. Sometimes things just happen and what you have worked for just vanishes. That's a more general discussion, but the logic is the same.

Everyone should learn some self-defense.

Starlight August 9th, 2022 6:57 AM

Sadly, very sadly, I agree. Here in the UK, we're not even allowed to carry a spray - an alarm is all that is permitted - so I actually think self defence should be taught to everyone, and if I was in the government, I'd make it free of charge to everyone that wants it too. A far better use of resources than the things we do waste money on ;(


Deep dish pizza is a completely different product.

ReKoil August 9th, 2022 9:47 AM

I got no idea what even makes a pizza 'Deep Dish'. *starts googling*
Oh those thick pizzas? I've had them, though only supermarket ones. As a result any different cooking technique used in making them are unknown to me.
Idk, there's pizzas I like in both the thick and thin categories =p
The thicker crust doesn't really make that much of a difference to me tbh. I'll disagree, I guess.

Ice cream tastes better in the summer when it's hot out.

_confused_piplup_ August 9th, 2022 11:21 AM

Totally agree. During winter is ok, but during summer is a necessity lol. And yeah it tastes 100 times better.

Introverts and extroverts are rarely compatible.

ZeoStar August 9th, 2022 3:09 PM

Complete disagree. I don't even think it's uncommon.

It's easy to lose motivation with important but stressful tasks.

StCooler August 9th, 2022 3:36 PM

I agree, but generally stressful tasks do motivate me.
What doesn't motivate me is boring tasks XD

The Pokémon franchise will live forever.

In my experience, the introverts will have to make efforts to follow the extroverts, while the opposite is not true... I don't know if that makes them compatible ^^"

ZeoStar August 9th, 2022 4:52 PM

Not compatible is a harsh statement. Different energy levels exist but such things can be worked through. There are many introverted/extroverted partnerships and friendships in the world.

Anyways, moving on.

I don't agree in the sense that nothing lasts forever, but I don't think it's ending anytime soon.

Bluetooth is more convenient than wired audio.

Megan August 9th, 2022 8:36 PM

It sure is. But it also fails a lot more and quality is still not 100% up to speed. I can tell because I actually the Switch's built in Bluetooth Audio and that really likes to cut out every now and then. ^^"

Yes but no? Self-defense is mostly considered when we talk about getting assaulted on the street. However, there's some big problems associated with that. First of all: self-defense is a way to assert resistance. It's basically you telling them that you're willing to fight. The problem with that is the people who assault other people know what they're doing. It's in their day to day routine so to speak. If you make clear to them that you will fight then they too will do so. And they will fight dirty. Which means: you may end up in serious, maybe even life threatening, danger.
Second Problem: they never come alone. Doesn't matter how much self-defense training you had. If there's more than one of them then your skills will mean nothing. And trust me: I've been in that position before; they never come alone. They're just too much of a coward for that.

The thing about self-defense: you basically only have one chance to make a move. And that chance has to be used as a way to get away from then as soon as possible. Because the longer you stay the harder it becomes to come out unscathed.

You'd be surprised! Sometimes opposites really do attract!

With decent implementation, absolutely! A good codec goes a long way to solving some of the quality problems too.

Not all attacks arise from situations like those unfortunately, some aren't escalated at all, they just happen with no warning. Also, they often attack in groups yes, but other times some of them attack very much alone. Knowing a few moves of something like Krav Maga to help you escape the situation can mean the difference between life and death.

It really is! It's certainly the most responsible too. Not that I ever stick to it...

It's better to travel light than pack a lot.

ReKoil August 10th, 2022 9:05 AM

Does somewhat depend on what you're packing for, but generally speaking; Agree.

You can't have too many plushes.

Megan August 10th, 2022 8:24 PM

Yes! If you don't find yourself avalanched by your plushies when you open your front door you are doing something wrong! D:

Food made of leftovers is the best food.

I was about to ask if your opinion is based on rl experience. But then I realized that I won't like the answer to that. ^^"
Hope you're currently in a better place! <3

_confused_piplup_ August 11th, 2022 1:43 AM

Just to clarify a bit about my latest post.

Spoiler:

Just wanted to say that my statements in this game tend to be pretty neutral, like it's not always what I think. Sometimes I disagree with the statement I propose. This is not the case tho, but it was cool to see people had different views on it. Personally, as an introvert, it didn't really feel easy. I actually had several extrovert friends, but if I think about it, I have never found myself in a comfortable situation: it was always them wanting to do something and I followed them lol. Making it work with an extrovert is pretty hard for me now, like even some of my family members, which is kinda odd I guess.
Also, anyway I didn't say "never", but "rarely", which implies sometimes this happens. This means someone could have disagreed to my statement because "it never happens that they are compatible".
Anyway, that was just to clarify.


Disagree. Sometimes leftovers are pretty good, but like yeah no lol.

Swimming in the sea is a lot better than swimming in a pool.

ReKoil August 11th, 2022 10:40 AM

I haven't been to either in years.
But the sea means you have to go to the beach, which means sand everywhere in your clothes. So Pool it is, and thus a Disagree! 😉
the actual act of swimming in a pool vs sea makes no difference for me either, so that would be a disagree too =P

RPG's are better than FPS'.

Fact Checking Gardevoir August 11th, 2022 10:54 AM

I disagree! I don't see one genre being better than the other. I, for one, think FPS are quite fun being played with friends and/or online! In the one (an MMOFPS) I am playing, I love spending two hours fighting for the same building, with continuous and relentless "pew pew pew" and "boom" all around! Back to the spawn-tube, insect!
That said, I still certainly enjoy playing a certain science-fiction RPG...

Turn-based strategy games are better than real time strategy games.

StCooler August 11th, 2022 11:52 AM

I find turn-based strategy to be easier for me as I have the reaction time of a Slowpoke... (this is "à propos" as we say in Canada)
I used to enjoy Age of Mythology though...
However, I am not good at strategies anyway, so I don't play many strategy games.
I'd say it boils down to personal preferences so I'll say I prefer Hack-n-Slash in which you mindlessly hit everything that's not you. 😇

Action games are better than strategy games 😇

Is a bow-only, first-person-locked Skyrim game an RPG and an FPS? 🤔

ZeoStar August 11th, 2022 1:19 PM

Disagree, but I'm biased because there are more games in the strategy genre that I like better.

Pain is needed but suffering is not.

Megan August 11th, 2022 8:24 PM

We will never get rid of physical or mental pain. But we can get rid of as much suffering as possible. We just don't do it because of the stupid hierarchical thinking that our society employs. So yeah, I agree.

Having a house with a great mountain view is better than a house with a great sea view.

Nope, that's just called "Skyrim on easy-mode"

ReKoil August 12th, 2022 10:55 AM

For view alone... probably. A mountain view would probably have more diversity.
Whereas a sea view sounds monotonous to me... though you could still catch some wildlife surfacing depending on how close to the sea it is, I suppose.

Guess I'll agree though I have no strong feelings towards either.

Ignorance can be bliss.

Nah that's just a Guard-Maker-Simulator.... you know... making adventurers take arrows to the knee. Why do you think all the guards bring it up so often? 😏
Also I don't see FPS listed as it's genre on Steam... 😉

Sheep August 13th, 2022 3:28 AM

Absolutely agreed. I do feel that way for many things, honestly.

It's better not to stand out too much in life.

Megan August 13th, 2022 8:29 AM

If you don't have much power it is kinda expected of you to not stand out. ^^"
Not sure if that's good or bad. But I think some of those people are worth hearing out. So I disagree.

It's totally normal for a person to spend their entire day playing a video game.

ReKoil August 13th, 2022 10:58 AM

Been there, done that =P
Is it normal though... idk. There are plenty of other hobbies people will spend an entire day on... so it's not abnormal, I guess?
Unless we're talking all day, every day. Because that definitely isn't xD

Idk what to go with lol, I've definitely done it. I'll agree I guess, provided it's not on an everyday basis ^^

Cold showers are great after a hot day.

ZeoStar August 13th, 2022 4:45 PM

Disagree. I don't want to shower in cold water at all.

Sometimes giving up on a task is a better option

Megan August 14th, 2022 1:55 AM

It definitely is the easier option. Especially after you're done with the ~80% that are pretty straightforward and you're left with the frustrating rest. Then again, when you're that far you probably shouldn't.
But agree on those tasks you were never really into in the first place and aren't very good in, anyway.

Cities need to be less car-centric.

StCooler August 14th, 2022 4:37 AM

I've always lived in big cities, and I don't have the permit. I've even lived in a city where having a car is detrimental, because the metro is way faster, less expensive, doesn't have traffic jams and doesn't require you to find a paying parking place 10 mins away from the place you actually want to go...
So I don't know, I find cities (the cities I know of) are already pushing towards public transports.

Living very safe means you never take the risk to make a step further in your life.
Not that I relate to this...

ReKoil August 14th, 2022 7:32 AM

Disagree, the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive imo

Tortilla chips are better with a dip.
